FAWM Open '25
by @kosch
Liner Notes
Ever since I woke on the morning of my second FAWM with "FAWM, FAWM, F-F-FAWM" in my head, I've opened and closed each event with a hello/goodbye kind of thing. Done in a "skirmish-y, SOC way.
As it is only the 2nd FAWM, and the 50/90 in the middle, I don't think I can call it a tradition...yet. Also hit the #F_Am Challenge, while at it.. Anyway...hope you have a great FAWM #acousticonetake #SongsAboutFawm
Lyrics
FAWM - Makes the darkest month a little brighter FAWM - Makes the weight of the world seem a little lighter
So many things in life, turn out to be A little bit less than we hope they'll be, but,
FAWM - Makes the darkest month a little brighter FAWM - Makes the weight of the world seem a little lighter
Though, it may be the shortest month, we gonna get it done. Going to write that batch of songs, gonna have some fun at
FAWM FAWM FAWM FAWM

I like the lines: "So many things in life, turn out to be A little bit less than we hope they'll be..." So true! Glad to see you back here!
I hope your FAWM sparkles as well. Simple pleasures in life are so rewarding.
I love that we got to sit there in the room with you as you got ready and started playing. This was so wonderfully representative of everything FAWM. Awesome start to your and all of our FAWM. This was really inspirational and lovely. Thanks for sharing!!
Cracking first song setting the scene for the month! Ive been chomping at the bit to get to Feb 1st for a multitude of reasons and this is exactly how I feel
I think you've captured the essence of FAWM with this song...well done!
A love song to FAWM! This is really charming.
What an uplifting write to start a day. Really needed that.
Really impressive what you did with such minimal lyrics and two chords. Great touch on the axe. Great to see you still bringing it from the CT shoreline.
Nice inspirational kickoff song. FAWM really does make the world a better place (at least, my world). Glad to see you back this year. Good luck!
Nice guitar and a clever idea! With some truths as well! Nice start! You do remind me of my man bill callahan
Love it, you could do movie trailers with that voice.
Great that you also hit the F#-Am challenge. Great one man skirmish to kick it all off.
Busting a zong, on th first track seen sounds like a plan . . . unless some one else it typing at the same time.
A strong start sir. There some sole peeking out in this one.
This is the FAWMiest song! Love the whole thing. That last verse captured the whole thing in a nutshell: “ Though, it may be the shortest month, we gonna get it done./Going to write that batch of songs, gonna have some fun” Brilliant. (I also started with a “song-about-FAWM” - a little different take, though… 🙂)
